Ectoparasites of the blackspot seabream Pagellus bogaraveo(Teleostei: Sparidae) from Portuguese waters of the north-east Atlantic
The ectoparasite community of the blackspot seabream, Pagellus bogaraveo , was studied in different locations in Portuguese waters of the north-east Atlantic Ocean. This is the first study to focus on the ectoparasites of this commercially important sparid fish. Nine ectoparasite species were detect...
